[OOOPS!](https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/lawsuit-accuses-hyundai-faking-us-sales-data-electric-cars-2024-07-08/) The Hyundai executives really thought **every** dealer would sell their soul to the Devil? What does that say about what Hyundai thinks about American car dealerships? We’re not getting any numbers… **one** dealership group said “no”, was punished, and sued…what about all the other dealers? The desperation to **appear** successful in selling EV’s. Between 2016 and 2022, globally, they’ve sold 144,000 units of EV/Hybrid…yeah, it’s not taking off for them…and someone was under such pressure they decided to cheat…how about building an EV people want and can afford instead? **BYD cannot meet demand for its EV’s.** BYD’s new $13,000 electric [crossover](https://bauaelectric.com/news/byd-reveals-cheaper-e2-electric-crossover-starting-under-13000-to-undercut-ice-cars/) 48 kWh battery pack and a CLTC range of 261 miles.
